4 Reasons Why We Need to Tell People About Jesus

These reasons were provided during a talk given at the Christianity Explored conference in Edinburgh on Saturday 21st February 2009.
  1. Grace - We know the awesome good news of the grace of Jesus and our desire is to share it (Romans 1: 5-6).
  2. Gehenna (the Jewish equivalent to the concept of Hell. The name derived from the burning garbage dump near Jerusalem) - We know he is the only way to salvation (Romans 1: 16-17). Imagine knowing there was a bomb on a plane before it takes off, disembarking unnoticed and watching the plane take off loaded with passengers destined to die.
  3. Glory - because like the apostle Paul our motivation is to see God alone glorified and we all know the chief end of man is 'to glorify God by enjoying him forever'.
  4. Godliness - because being Godly is not suppressing, but proclaiming the truth of Jesus (Matthew 28:19)

Questions

Ok here is a question place... maybe... again in the learning curve so will have to see how this works. Ask a question and we can carry on a discussion to see where it takes us. I will moderate the comments and hopefully come Biblical conclusions...

First Endeavour

Setting up a blog shouldn't be too hard... it is the ability to keep up with it that is the challenge. But we shall see. So this is a first, but hopefully not the last. I hope to use it as a tool to chat amongst our Fellowship and get us better connected. It should also be usable as a tool to ask and answer questions and hopefully keep up with the events of Brechin Baptist Fellowship.

Here is to getting started,
